Appointment Letter - Appointment Letters [Thread 149675]

What exactly are the mandatory info to be included in an offer letter and appointment letter? If an appointment letter does not detail the modalities after a employee has resigned, can the employee question that?
This is because a few software companies refuse to pay salaries from the day of resignation till the last day of employment. This actually means that the employee has to work without salary for 2 full months. This also gives ample opportunities for managers to harass employees.
Is this practice illegal and can it be challenged in court?:x

DEAR
yes this practice is illegal and no one can be asked to work without pay.you have given resignation and serving on notice for two month ,company has to pay your salary.

Company's block 1 months salary after resignation which is released along with Full & final settlement. If they are not releasing the payment then its illegal...its against the labour law...

If the notice period is two months, this company won't pay from the date of resignation to the date of final settlement. So, the employee will be working for two months without pay. Since this is an illegal practice, what are the legal remedies under the Labour Law?

Salary is kepy on HOLD for the period of one month from the day of resignation...Its not that companies dont pay it...Hold salary is released after 1 month of employees exit along with full & final settlement...Keeping salary on hold is logically correct & i think its not illegal as 1 months salary is kept on hold to make adjustments for any arising dues as in most of the cases employees refuse to pay....
